The author argues that GA's focus on complexifying vector algebra to resemble complex numbers and quaternions is unnecessary and confusing. Instead, the author advocates for a simpler approach using exterior algebra and wedge products, emphasizing clarity and intuition over abstract algebraic structures. The author also mentions the philosophical and pedagogical issues with GA, such as its conflation of operators and primitives, and the cultural baggage associated with the term 'Geometric Algebra.' The article concludes by suggesting that while GA has value as an implementation detail, it should not be see...
